The glazing has been installed on the new £15 million leisure centre which is being built on Argents Mead in Hinckley.

The new 6,500sqft complex is on time and on budget and is due to open to the public on May 2.

The cladding around the outside of the building has also been completed.

And a striking green roof has been installed which is made of grass and other vegetation.

Devising a modern yet aesthetically sympathetic building was essential to the brief given to architects Roberts Limbrick. The final design is a three-storey centre which ‘melts’ into the landscape, features extensive glazing and complementary external colouring and boasts an eco-friendly sedum roof.
